Prayer Law and Legal Definition Prayer is a term subject to different meanings, but in the legal context, it refers to the specific amount asked for as damages at the end of a complaint or petition. A prayer gives the judge an idea of what is sought, and a defendant who fails to answer may have a default judgment entered against him/her for the amount prayed for.
Pray, noun: âTo ask that the laws of the universe be annulled in behalf of a single petitioner confessedly unworthyâ (Ambrose Bierce, 1842-1914). âPrayer is like the dove that Noah sent forth, which blessed him not only when it returned with an olive-leaf in its mouth, but when it never returned at allâ (Robinsonâs Job).
